Summer has a way of creating the moments we’ll remember long after the season ends. A favorite concert. A night at the ballpark. A hidden adventure. A great meal shared with family and friends. This week’s issue celebrates the experiences that make life at the Delaware beaches unlike anywhere else.
Our feature story goes behind the music with Decade80, exploring how two local musicians built one of Delaware’s most devoted fan communities and turned an ’80s tribute band into a full-blown phenomenon. Marissa Levy keeps the soundtrack going with a roundup of can’t-miss performances, including Trombone Shorty, American Idol winner David Cook and plenty of local favorites.
Hari Cameron reminds us that a Shorebirds game is about much more than baseball, sharing a father-son evening filled with foul balls, ballpark bites and traditions that never get old. Zeke Ottemiller takes beer lovers beyond Sussex County for a tour of four Delaware breweries worth the drive, while Pam George raises a glass to the Cape Region’s growing wine scene, from award-winning restaurants to local vineyards and tasting rooms.
Looking for something a little different? Nancy Sakaduski introduces readers to the world of geocaching, a real-life treasure hunt hiding in plain sight across Sussex County. Lana Morelli closes out the issue with the story of Salty Girl Books, the women-owned mobile bookstore bringing beach reads directly to readers throughout Delaware and Maryland.
Whether you’re singing along at a concert, exploring a new trail, catching a game or simply looking for your next great read, we hope this week’s issue inspires you to make the most of another unforgettable week at the Delaware beaches.
